Roaring Brook Photo Archives Hello and thanks for visiting my vintage image collection. I'm a retired Rustic Artisan and was part of the TWIGS Gallery in Lake Placid for many years. Hewey.

Vintage Adirondack Photos ca.1920 - 1935 Placid Lake ADK Camps ▪︎ 1932 Winter Olympic Games ▪︎ 'NY Horse Show ▪︎ Recreation ▪︎ John Brown's Farm ▪︎ The Lake Placid Club ▪︎ Whiteface Inn & Golf Courses ▪︎ I purchased Roaring Brook Archives as glass negatives from a friend and began printing and selling them in my own birch bark frames. I've always been interested in history and love sharing the ma

ny visual stories of this region. I can reprint and mail any of these images, or just enjoy looking back into the Adirondack past. Please leave comments if so inspired - this is my social outlet too! ~Circe J.

Counselors and youngsters at Sunny Cove Camp spent their summers escaping the city heat and are shown enjoying Adirondack camp life in the early 1930s.

FYI My ADK story began decades ago when I traveled from NJ to fill a live-in summer position at Camp Solitude's B&B. I would return to NJ every Winter except the summer I started my own rustic furnishings business. Then, after years of house-hunting I found a sweet home nestled beneath Giant Mt. AND my very own mountain man. And yes, I teased him about marrying the flatlander from NJ!
